Gaddafi spends two hours with 200 Italian ladies

Muammar Gaddafi disappointed some 200 Italian women after he invited them using an agency advertizing a "party" where the Libyan leader proceeded to lecture them on Islam.

The ad, by the Hostessweb agency, was very specific in the kind of woman that should attend and read: "Seeking 500 attractive girls between 18 and 35 years old, at least 1.70 meters (5 foot, 7 inches) tall, well-dressed but not in mini-skirts or low cut dresses."

Some 200 women showed up at a Rome villa, having been told they would receive €60 ($90) and "some Libyan gifts."
